Local time where you're at. ("Where you're at"?)

Memo to those of you who know how I live & die with the C’boys and were expecting an explosion:&#160 Yes, it’s really me.&#160

New Orleans 24, Arizona 10

Seattle 34, Minnesota 17

NY Jets 24, Cleveland 20

Pittsburgh 16, Philthydelphia 10

Dallas 17, San Diego 31

Tyler Palko (who’s Tyler Palko?) came off the bench to throw for 144 yards as the Saints beat the Cards in Phoenix.

UPDATE:&#160 Oh.&#160 The former Pitt quaterback.&#160 That&#160 Tyler Palko.&#160 Good on ya, son!

…

Jeff Reed kicked two fourth-quarter field goals to send the Steelers past the Beagles.

Watch out for rookie Dennis Dixon from Oregon.&#160 Passer, receiver – the Black & Gold may have found the next Kordell “Slash” Stewart.

…

Seattle dominated the Vikes in the second half, thanks to Minne-haha’s inability to hang on to the ball.

Two of the three second-half turnovers were fumbles caused by Seattle rookie linebacker David Hawthorne.

That would be…uh…rookie David Hawthorne from Texas Christian.&#160 RIFF RAM BAH ZOO!!!!!&#160

…

A quarterback named Brett threw for 252 yards in leading the Jets past the Browns.&#160 But the name of the jersey was “Ratliff” – Brett Ratliff, who’s pushing for the #3 QB position.

HDD wasn’t kidding about that O-line.&#160 First quarter, Jets 4th & 1 at the Brown 37, Kellen Clemens tries a QB sneak – and gets stoned.

And Favre’s depending on this&#160 line to protect him?

…

Dallas’ starters didn’t just outplay the Chargers’ starters – they manhandled&#160 them.

Second-and-7, Phillip Rivers back to pass…and NT Tank Johnson obliterates the center and slams Rivers to the turf for a six-yard loss.&#160 Next play, a screen pass to rookie Jacob Hester loses another yard.

After the Chargers punt, the C’boys go on a methodical eight-play, 54-yard touchdown drive that chewed up the SD defense.&#160 ‘Twas a thing of beauty.

The backups played like shit, but that was almost to be expected.&#160

Two who were here last year need to go away this year:&#160 Bobby Carpenter & Brad Johnson.&#160 Carpenter keeps getting pushed around, and was directly blocked & tied up by what should be an easily defeatable fullback on one SD touchdown.&#160 His practices, supposedly so good, are not translating into games.&#160 At this point, he can only be considered a draft bust.

Johnson played like he didn’t have a clue what was going on out there, and threw an ugly pick (might not have been his fault, but at this point I don’t care) that led to another SD touchdown.

The special teams once again reek, allowing three sizable punt returns.&#160 Why is Bruce Read still here?

And Danny Amendola – or as I like to call him, Amy Dannydola – didn’t help his own cause last night, fumbling a punt that led to SD’s first touchdown and changed the momentum of the game.&#160 If he’s to stay here, I expect a great deal of improvement in Game 2.

But while the overall result was a little discouraging, it’s only a preseason game.&#160 Nothing was at stake, except possibly roster spots.&#160 The ‘Boys will be fine.

The PFW returns Thursday for preseason week 2.

Okay, so we have this gene-pool-contaminating son-of-a-crack-whore-bitch pussy set to be executed tonight in Huntsville:

Leon David Dorsey IV, once known on the street as “Pistol Pete,” does not plan to die quietly.

[…]

“He’s not being brought out of his cell unless necessary,” Michelle Lyons, spokeswoman for the Texas Department of Criminal Justice, said. “He’s vowed that he’s going to assault staff prior to his execution.”

Fine with me.&#160 Shoot the bastard in his cell.&#160 Better yet, have the families of his victims pull the trigger on the motherfucker.

Either way, the sooner he stops wasting our oxygen, the better.

UPDATE:&#160 The jackass is now at room temperature.&#160 It’s not specifically mentioned, but it doesn’t look like he put up the fight he was promising us.

Pity.
